Experience the century-old artisanal way of harvesting coffee beans while visiting a real small family farm. This is a hands-on experience where you will pick, grind and roast your own beans and get to taste some of the smoothest coffee in the world! This tour guarantees red beans for picking year-round and it is hosted at a local family farm, not a large commercial coffee plantation. With over 200 recorded species, this forest reserve and adjacent shade-grown coffee plantations offer abundant birdlife that is easy to spot with the naked eye, making it a prime site for nature photography. We began this tour back in 2013 when few people even knew that coffee plants were harvested in the nearby lands of Bogotá. We are the first and oldest coffee tour in the Bogotá region. Don't miss out!

Coffee lovers tour
This was a great tour for coffee lovers. It was a great intro into traditional coffee processing. The farm is small and owner Don Carlos and his wife were so welcoming. Lunch at the farm was so good! Our guide Gabriela and driver Hector were both very engaging and I highly recommend any tour with them. Only downside is the traffic in and out of Bogota. Leave early.

Fun, informative, and delicious
We had a great time! The tour was very informational about the coffee process from planting a coffee plant to brewing a cup of coffee. The coffee was delicious and the people were even better! Hector was our driver and was very friendly and Gabriel was our guide. She was fun and very knowledgeable! I would fully recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed learning each step of the coffee journey, from planting to that final cup...and that it tasted as good as it smells! We’re especially happy you connected with our team. Hector and Gabriela will be so glad to hear your kind words. As a family-run operation, welcoming guests like friends and sharing both our coffee and our people is at the heart of what we do. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful you chose to spend part of your time with us on the farm. Wishing you many great cups of coffee ahead!

Must do!
This is a fantastic tour! Diego was my guide, ad was very knowledgeable. The plantation is family owned and e process of making coffee start to finish was educational. The coffee was delicious! I would recommend a different spot for lunch as it wasn’t my favorite, but all in all, I had a fantastic time.

Learn and experience from the small coffee farmers
The tour was a long day mostly due to the notorious Bogota traffic. Despite the travel we had a wonderful day and the views were amazing. The guide Diego was great in explaining all aspects of coffee. The farmers Elena and Carlos were so sweet and warm, they shared their knowledge and experiences about making coffee so passionately. It was just a delight! The lunch and coffee tasting was delicious. There were so many varieties of birds and flowers it was amazing. Would highly recommend this trip!!

Family coffee tour
We did this tour with three kids ages 6, 8 and 17 and it was loved by all. The coffee farm owner and his family were so welcoming to our kids and invited us into their home for a true and unique coffee experience. Even if you think you don’t like coffee you will after this tour. Our guide was so patient with our kids and all of our questions and did a great job explaining everything to us. It was one of the highlights of our trips.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.
Is Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bogotá?
+
On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bogotá?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bogotá?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour?
+
Included: Entrance to Quinini Nature Reserve; Private transportation; Tea and coffee; Snacks; and Entrance To Family-Owned Coffee Farm. Not included: Gratuities; Bottled water; and Binoculars for Rent. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 533 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bogotá. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Birds & Beans Traditional Coffee Tour?
+
